Catalogue synopsis
Project Gutenberg supplies this automated synopsis of the opening text:
"The Wise Mamma Goose" by Charlotte B. Herr is a children's story written in the early 20th century. The book tells the story of a devoted mother goose who is concerned for the safety of her goslings and others in the barnyard. Its central theme revolves around the mother's wisdom and determination to protect her family from potential danger, offering valuable lessons about vigilance and community. In the narrative, Mamma Goose observes that, one by one, the barnyard chicks are mysteriously disappearing at night, presumably taken by a fox. While other animals dismiss her concerns, Mamma Goose devises a plan to keep her goslings safe by hiding them in the abandoned doghouse of Fido, the family dog who has gone missing. When the big white cock eventually supports her plan, the entire flock joins her in this protective strategy, leading to the return of Fido and a newfound sense of safety in the barnyard. The tale demonstrates Mamma Goose's courage, the importance of listening to wise counsel, and the power of community cooperation in overcoming challenges.
